CoCo ICHIBANYA x Baskin Robbins

If you ask me where I'd head to have my favourite curry, I'd say my grandparents' house cause grandmumzy cooks the best pot of curry. I'm not even kidding. A pity not everyone gets the chance to taste it ;)

For you deprived souls, there's always CoCo ICHIBANYA.

Pork Cutlet Rice ($12) + corn ($1)

You can even decide on your rice portion, the level of spiciness for your curry, and be spoilt for choice with the top-ups they have! Ranging from corn to fresh veggies to croquettes. *v*

Since it originated from Japan, I thought that the curry would be kinda sweet, like those Japanese curries you can have anywhere. I was definitely wrong! Mayyyybe it's because I chose level 1 for the spiciness of my curry? Which sounds rather pathetic, but it was just right for someone like me who can't handle spiciness. If you're up for a challenge, you can put your taste buds to the test right here by choosing the maximum level of spiciness. Hot hot hot.

What did disappoint me was the portion of my corn. Felt corn-y that day and when my order came I felt kinda cornned by my top-up :( More corn please!!

Realised it was also a Pink Wednesday so we decided to pay Baskin Robbins a visit.

All you have to do is show something pink, and you're entitled to the promotion! Nothing big or fancy is needed, my friend simply flashed her pink nails and ta-da!

Because one scoop isn't enough.

I have got to head back there to try the other flavours. The wide variety of unique flavours sets it apart from the usual ice cream parlors. Really liked the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough because of the chunks of cookie dough in it. The clean futuristic design offers you a short trip to what I call ice cream heaven with each spoonful of creamy goodness — a perfect place to give yourself a mid-week treat.

So......... ice cream date Wednesdays, maybe?

Manhattan Fish Market

Decided to reward myself a little halfway through the week, so I went down with Vanessa to Manhattan Fish Market for lunch. :)

Chicken of Liberty

I'd usually go for the safer option of Fish and Chips whenever I'm here. However, I decided to spare my throat from all the deep fried goodness because of my on-off sore throat.

Overall, the dish was fine. The chicken and rice weren't too dry and they went well together. The carrots seemed a bit raw though, even though I haven't actually had a raw carrot before. (I think) Worth a try if you're thinking of trying something new.

Main thing is, MFM has this lunch promotion going on now, so it's a great time to head down there to give yourself a little treat. Especially since most of us must be worn out from school and upcoming exams.

Great deal, no?

And great deals definitely have to be shared, soooooo anchors aweigh!
